The attacks are understood to have taken place at their home in Plymouth earlier this year, with the boy believed to have ejaculated on at least one occasion.

He was handed a 12-month intensive referral order – meaning he will work with counsellors and youth workers to change his behaviour – at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court in Cornwall after admitting to two counts of rape at an earlier hearing.

He will also be supervised while using the internet and will have to sign the sex offenders’ register for two years.

The boy, who now lives in Cornwall, was supported in the dock by his mother and foster mother.

District Judge Diane Baker said the ejaculation was an aggravating factor and if he had been older he would have received a prison sentence, the Daily Mail reported.

She said: “I’ve read all about you. I know a lot about what has happened in your life and your mum’s life in the past and the difficulties you faced and the confusion you face now about how you wish to lead your life.
